AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): UN Secretary-General condemned Friday's two separate terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Friday’s terrorist attacks in two Pakistani cities Mastung and Hangu and called for bringing the people responsible for those strikes to justice.
“We condemn the terrorist attacks that took place in Pakistan, killing more than 50 people,” the UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at the regular noon briefing at UN Headquarters in New York.
Dujarric added: “The fact that these killings took place during religious ceremonies makes them even more heinous”, noting that it was “even more horrific to target people as they go about a religious ceremony, a peaceful religious ceremony.”
An explosion that hit a religious gathering in Mastung district of Pakistan's southwest Balochistan province on Friday left 50 people dead and at least 50 others injured, Pakistani police and health officials said.
The explosion believed to be a suicide attack, occurred near a mosque when people were gathering to celebrate Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, the birthday of Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
